This is a California based environmental health and justice
organization which promotes clean air and water and advocates for toxic free
communities. Alicia Rivera will speak to us about this group and
what concerns them and all of us She
is an excellent speaker who really knows what she is talking about.

HARMONY” a fascinating grand tour
of the harmony inherent in our world. This will be a power point program
presented by Simone Maud`hui. The
passion of Simone is to expose the Universal Oneness underlying the diversity of
forms in our world. She works to
build a synthesis among the religions, as well as between psychology and
spirituality, and between science and religion.
January
29 - UNITARIANS AND THE ROMANTIC POETS The Romantic movement in Germany, England, and the U.S.
was closely tied and very much influenced Unitarians. Who were the Romantics? What did they say? What is the connection to the Unitarian
church? Dee Masters is a friend to our fellowship and just
happens to be an excellent speaker. Dee
is a teacher and drama director at Bishop Montgomery High School. He also teaches at Harbor College. Peter Landecker will moderate.
